It’s time for part three of my festive gift guide 2023 – today, focused on the hard to buy for. Ie. those people in your life who have everything and are a little on the picky side when it comes to aesthetics! I think in those cases it’s often best to pick experiences over material things, so you’re giving something that they can enjoy time and time again. So we’ve got a gallery membership, a basket weaving kit, a candle making kit, a magazine subscription, a wine selection case and more.
